Moving Planet ~ Go Global, Go Green, and Go Car Free

This weekend ahead, I'm walking in and around Washington DC for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day/60 mile Walk for Breast Cancer.  My shoes and pedometer are ready (not so sure about my feet though).  A-walking, walking, walking I will go.

Perfect timing:  Saturday, Sept 24th is the global event and day of "Moving Planet."  From their website:

Moving Planet will be a day to put our demands for climate action into motion—marching, biking, skating—calling for the world to go beyond fossil fuels.  WHY? For too long, our leaders have denied and delayed, compromised and caved. That era must come to an end: it's time to get moving on the climate crisis.

So, watch the movie below, and walk, bike, hike, scooter and skate...and check out some alternate modes of transportation, and take part in Moving Planet.
